I like it, though it’s massive next to the MX...

And I found the ‘regular’ 7s sells for a lot less than the 7sII with a lot of the same quality...

Strangely, many (most?) 35mm rangefinder cameras are not particularly compact except for thickness. There are exceptions such as the Barnack Leicas (and clones), Olympus XA and Ricoh 500G, but the rest tend to be dimensioned similar to traditional SLR bodies. For example, my Canon P (same size as a Leica M2) is similar in width, height (to the top deck), and depth (exclusive of mirror box) to a Spotmatic or Minolta SRT 101. Of course the P has very different balance, but ergonomics are otherwise similar.

To get small and light with a fast standard prime I'd choose the MX with M 50/1.7 over any of the fast-lens rangefinders I've ever encountered. A much smaller and lighter combination without and of the rangefinder quirks or drawbacks.

Shot last summer by better half, trying out the new C35EF that was my grandfather's. Such a strange and simple, seemingly cheap but not at all so, unexpectedly wonderfully little camera.
